WHITEWATER, Wis. (WLCSports.com) – The Wisconsin Lutheran College men's and women's indoor track & field teams opened its indoor season on Saturday afternoon at the Karl Schlender Invitational hosted by UW-Whitewater.

• Event: Karl Schlender Invitational

• Sophomore Madeleine Steber (Green Bay, Wis.) finished second in the 400-meter dash, clocking in with a time of 1:07.86. She also placed seventh in the 60-meter hurdles in 11.06.
• Senior Becca Heller (South Milwaukee, Wis.) opened her senior season with a personal-best and school record time in the 600-meter run, finishing with a time of 1:47.34 for third place.
• Junior Kaylyn Shevey (Muskego, Wis.) leaped 4.86 meters in the long jump, good for fourth place. She also posted a sixth-place finish in the 60-meter hurdles in 10.96.

• Senior Elijah Tesch (Sun Prairie, Wis.) ran a personal-best time of 1:29.80 in the 600-meter run finishing sixth.

• "It was a great first meet! Becca highlights it with a new school record, but it was a solid opener for the few athletes we did have compete. 13 PR's and a school record with only 11 athletes competing is always a great way to start. I'm looking forward to the entire team opening up next week at Platteville." - Head Coach Eric Kramer

• The Warriors will compete next Saturday at the Pioneer Open hosted by UW-Platteville. Events are scheduled to start at 11:00 a.m. inside Williams Fieldhouse.
